Carne Asada and Adovada Tacos
Rostam Z.

Wow wow and wow! If you want food in Lone Pine, this is the place to go. One of the best carne asada tacos I've ever had, and I've had a lot. So flavorful and juicy. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. This Taco Truck needs to be recognized.

Carne Asada buritto
Davey G.

If you like fat burritos and friendly service then this is your new Mexican food stop in Lone Pine. After a 10 hour drive I stopped at Castro's based on all the Yelp reviews..... Can confirm a 5-Star experience The carne asada burrito reminded me of a bus. It's heavy and loaded. Very fresh and flavorful meat, beans, rice, onions, and cilantro. I asked for no salsa on the burrito and had a side of hot sauce which was delicious. Very friendly, fast, and delicious. There are plenty of clean tables under the patio cover to dine in. Love this place, I'll definitely stop here on roadtrips

The tacos de asada and adobada are super flavorful
JC M.

What brought me here were all the excellent reviews. This place did not disappoint! As soon as I got near the food truck, I could smell the goodness in the air. Brought back childhood memories during my family's trip to deep Mexico. The tacos de asada and adobada are super flavorful, but the asada takes the cake. It tastes like it was grilled and not cooked over the griddle. The salsas are really good and bring the taco to a whole different level. I will definitely make sure to visit them every time I drive down the 395.

Best taco shop ever!
Sarah Y.

We stopped here on a hunch as we noticed several big rigs pulled over and the drivers headed here. This place did not disappoint! Best road burrito we've ever had!

Cash only! The tacos were loaded with tasty meat! I had asada, cabeza, and adovada and they were all fantastic!! Super flavorful with a good spicy kick to them. Wish I had gotten a photo of them but we were so hangry they all disappeared before I could. Unfortunately we got there during dinner rush which took our tacos 40 mins to get after ordering. This was my only issue. I'm definitely coming back and hoping the lines are shorter. If not for the wait, this place is easily a 5 star taco shop. We initially drove right past this place as its a little hard to find, but going North its a left turn just before the Mobile gas station. Theres a few parking spots in the back but also very hard to find.

Incredibly delicious burrito- coming from a San Diegan! Carne asada cooked incredibly well, super tasty. Solid tortilla. Good green and red salsa. Very nice service . Cash only and Venmo. I'll definitely come back next time I drive through .

Overall, great authentic homey taste and friendly customer service. Located in a corner dirt road…read moreparking lot with three food trucks parked there. Has a tented area with tables right outside provided for us to dine at but was infested with large mosquitoes so we quickly ate and left. All the items tastes great and not overly salty and the tacos are not overly greasy. We ordered tacos with many different meat and they all tastes great. Asada, langua, tripa, etc. I especially find the texture of the tripa (beef fried intestines) interesting. I've had tripa from many taco trucks but none of them made it fried like they do here. Interesting texture and savory flavor. Definitely would do a stop by here again if in route for a lunch stop. The only thing is, the complimentary stir fry onion and green pepper was very spicy and too oily for me to handle, but I'm sure others wouldn't mind.

Picked up some tacos late night. It's a cute little food truck parked in a neighborhood a little…read morefurther out of town. The chef / owner is very energetic and friendly. Ordered a bunch of different tacos to go : lengua, pastor, cabeza, chicken. They were all very delicious and authentic. However, I still prefer the taco place Tacos Y tortas La Chiquita in Arlington VA better! Ordering took a while because he prefers cash and I didn't bring any, his credit card machine wasn't working well and it took a long time before the internet got connected to be able to pay. Also... I was a little bit worried about how clean things are, the chef was handling money, his phone, the credit card tablet with his hands, not wearing gloves or sanitizing in between... luckily I didn't get sick afterwards.

You know those places you randomly find on a road trip? The ones tucked away on a street corner or…read morehidden along a U.S. highway, where you hesitate for a moment before deciding whether to stop? Then you give them a chance and end up completely blown away. Glenn's Taqueria is definitely one of those places for me. About 4-5 years ago, I was driving from Reno, Nevada, to Los Angeles via US-395. Since there aren't many places to stop along that route, we pulled over at Glenn's food truck because it had a large shoulder area where we could park safely. We ordered a few tacos, and they were so good that I immediately ordered burritos to take with me. Later that night, after eating those burritos, my only regret was not ordering a few more. Ever since then, I've looked forward to driving this route again just so I could stop here. Today, as I left Reno heading toward Los Angeles, I already knew Glenn's Taqueria would be one of my stops. As soon as I pulled over, five other cars arrived as well, and the place suddenly got very busy. Despite the rush, Glenn handled everything quickly and efficiently. I ordered beef and chicken tacos to eat on the spot, along with beef and chicken burritos for later that night and the next morning. Just like I remembered, everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back again. This place absolutely deserves 5 stars, and I'm not surprised to see that nearly 100 other people felt the same way.

Always great food. This is our go-to on our way up north when traveling during the week. The shrimp…read moreburrito is my fave, but everything is good! They accept cash and Venmo now too.

There are stretches of Highway 395 that seem to run through the very soul of California--wind-swept…read morevalleys, snow-capped sierras, and forgotten gas stations with faded signage and stories to match. I've driven this road more times than I can count--always in a hurry to reach June Lake, Mammoth, or somewhere that sounds like a destination. And each time, I pass the same towns, the same reservations, the same hand-painted signs, barely noticed as they blur past my window. But today... today was different. Somewhere near Fort Independence, the kind of place most maps barely nod to, a sign caught my eye: "Indian Tacos." Nothing fancy. Just those two words, painted with purpose. As a member of a tribe myself, I pulled over. Not just out of curiosity, but a sense of kinship--and hunger. Mostly hunger. The setup? A weathered travel trailer, charming in its honesty, not trying to be something it's not. I approached with an open heart and a growling stomach. A kind man greeted me with a smile and said the words that every road-weary traveler longs to hear: "I make the fry bread fresh." What followed was nothing short of a spiritual experience. The Indian Taco was a masterpiece: pillowy-soft fry bread that could bring a tear to your eye, topped with perfectly seasoned meat, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and fresh salsa that tasted like it had been made that very morning--because it probably was. I told my friends. They grimaced. "You ate what from where?" they asked, horrified at the idea of eating from a rundown trailer on the side of a reservation road. But that's the difference between us. Some people need Michelin stars to validate a meal. I just need fresh fry bread and someone who knows what they're doing. Kumazaa Nobi, tucked away on the Fort Independence Indian Reservation, isn't a stop--it's a discovery. A reminder that the most unforgettable meals don't come with white tablecloths or curated playlists. They come with heart, heritage, and a good dose of adventure. Next time you're on 395, don't blink. Don't rush. Stop. Eat. Say thank you. You'll be better for it.
